Notes: We have absolutely no idea who Goodwife Combs
might have been. (Goodie was a.k.a. for 'Goodwife" and was
a class designation with its male counterpart being "Goodman').
Note, however, the mention of her house in Barnet, and that the
only Barnet found is in Hertfordshire,
with a number of Combs IGI entries found in that parish.
